My experience with the iPod and seeing my friends' experiences with it is a really poor quality product made by the gods in Cupertino where Apple resides. My iPod, with great fortune, broke 10-20 days after the 1 year warranty just expired so obviously this was amazing. If your iPod is even moderately breaking apart before your warranty is up, I suggest you slame it against a wall and tell Apple their product works.

Soon after I purchased a Zune around the Christmas season and it has yet to fail on me. However the software the Zune requires is less than desirably. It's way to bloated and has too much shit going on. After you get over that hurdle the Zune is an awesome product, I highly recommend it. The Zune's screen doesn't get scratched as easily as an iPod and really does the job of playing music well. Not to mention, it had a firmware update recently and can now wirelessly sync to your computer if you have wireless in your house which is very cool--no more wires!

The iTouch or the iPod touch seems amazing in comparison to the Zune in features and eye candy. I haven't played with it but if I had to choose, I would never touch a Zune after seeing that.

So in summary, iPod (old generation) = shit, Zune = decent, executes well, shit software bundled though, iTouch = amazing, expensive, no idea about the quality.

Zune is good for having an MP3 player that works and has nice features. Something that gets the job done with out any big commotions.

iPod is good for showing off a stylish MP3 player that gets the job done well with little commotion, however, compared to the Zune, iPod has very few features.

I'd love to hear other peoples opinions on the matter.
